Okay, there’s no time to lose! Let’s ride to the bunker at Shipwreck Shore.

Stop it, Edward. I want nothing but to be with you but I just can’t. I can’t be around normal people with this poison inside me.

Oh, I’m so sorry my darlings, but I can’t be close to you. I must leave!

Edward…

Erm… I know you’re not a child anymore but your Dad is so ill and I didn’t know how he would react when he saw you. Since he was poisoned, he has been unable to control his feelings and he could have hurt you!

I can’t bear the thought of your getting hurt or injured in any way. Please forgive me, Edward.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

But Dad is sick and he needs my help! You don’t need to worry about ME! The only person we should be worrying about is Dad. You don’t need to protect me any more, Mom! Stop treating me like a little kid, I’m going to help find a cure for him.

Isn’t there anything we can do to help Dad?

You think that Jorvik Root would cure him, Rita? Why can’t we just give him some of that then? What? The poison prevents him from wanting to try and cure himself?

So there’s nothing we can do?

You think you can handle it, Rita? By tricking him into taking the antidote? But how?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Yeah, how do we trick Thomas, Rita?

What’s that, Rita? If we could mix the Jorvik Root in with his food or something without him noticing it, then he’d be cured.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

What did you say we should do, Rita? Use a lip balm with Jorvik Root in it? Really?

So you’re saying Dad comes to our house every night and that Mom always kisses him goodbye when he leaves? So, the Jorvik Root will get into his system through the lip balm when Mom kisses him. I see. Great idea, Rita!

But how do we get hold of this lip balm?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I think I know how!

Apparently a very skilled alchemist lives somewhere near Crescent Moon Village. He should be able to help us make the lip balm. I don’t know where he lives exactly, but apparently his house is really special so it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

We’re going to cure Dad! Hooray!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Oh Rita, you’re a genius! A lip balm with Jorvik Root… I would never have thought of that.

You’re saying you can ride to the alchemist straight away to get the lip balm, Rita? Great! in the meantime, Edward and I will ride on home. Here’s the Jorvik Root for the lip balm.

Look for the alchemist in and around Crescent Moon Village. Hurry up, Rita! The fate of my family is in your hands.

Frederik Gets His Head Around the Problem

So you’re wondering if I’m a good alchemist?

Not just good, absolutely brilliant, if you ask me! Hee hee! Why are you asking?

Can I make a lip balm? Of course! That’s easy! But what do you need it for?

You say you need my help? Nobody every asks me for help in this village. Hmm. Everybody just takes me for granted. Sob sob.

Cough Cough.

You say you need my help! In that case, Alchemist Frederik is at your service! I’m going to make the best lip balm you’ve ever seen. I will flavor it with the sweetest berries imaginable. How about strawberry or cherry? We could also make the balm from the fragrant, pretty wild flowers that grow in the fields around here. Leave it to me! No problem! This is going to work out just fine! Ha ha.

You say you need a lip balm made with Jorvik Root?

Have you ever tasted Jorvik Root? It tastes worse than old sweaty socks. Yuck!

Erm. Hmm. Excuse me for asking but what do you need the lip balm for?

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!

Is the poison here in Epona?

Oh dear! That’s not good, not good at all!

Oh my! I warned them that this would happen! But nobody would listen, OF COURSE! And now it’s happening here in our little country village!

Do you want to know what I know about all this? Well, for a long time I’ve tried to make people here aware of how badly polluted the witch Pi’s swamp is. If only they had listened, this might never have happened.

The locals call this thing Thomas has “the Curse of the Swamp.” Soon after the poison enters the blood stream, the victim goes mad. Little by little he or she will lose themselves and all positive thoughts. The poison is like a parasite that invades and transforms the person’s personality into something horrible. In the end, the infected person will think that their new negative and destructive behavior is normal. But worst of all, they will become virus carriers themselves, if they aren’t cured in time. And since they also become very aggressive and unpredictable, they will pass this evil curse on to others. The whole village is in danger!

Don’t tell me you’ve been poisoned too! Did he scratch or bite you?

Phew! You’re lucky you didn’t get infected!

It’s a good thing you came here, Rita. There is still time to change Thomas Rockwell’s tragic fate!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Excuse me but I just want to say…. Woohoo!! Fiiiiiinally a real mission!

I haven’t had the chance to do anything this exciting and important in a looong time. On second thoughts, I don’t think I’ve ever done anything like this before. Ha ha.

Hmm. I have almost all the ingredients I need. But… Erm… You wouldn’t happen to have a strand of Thomas’ hair by any chance?

No? I thought not… You need to get a strand of Thomas’ hair, because without it, we will never be able to make the lip balm.

What happened? Well, just the kind of usual regular old bad luck I always have, and now my wallet is missing. The worst thing of all is that all the money I had in it has gone as well! Someone’s stolen my whole life!

What’s the point in making all these great deals when someone just takes it all away from you afterwards? Grrr, as soon as I get hold of whoever took my wallet, I swear I’m gonna…

You think we should take a look around anyway, just in case I managed to drop it by accident?

When the person puts their card back into the pack, it’ll be the wrong way up compared with the rest of the cards. Clever, right?

To confuse the person even more, I usually say a few magic words, you know, make it sound like I’m casting a spell… Haha, you’ll do a great job, lamb chop! It sounds more complicated than it really is.

Money in the Hat!

I’m so one hundred percent, absolutely, positively super happy that I could just explode, sweetie! Are you happy too? What a show we put on together!

Usually it would be Diggory that runs around the crowd with my hat, collecting money from those who wish to pay for seeing the show, but today it’s down to you!

Haha, you’re the sweetest. It’s not hard at all, just ride around with the hat and people will drop money into it if they want to.

Objectives: Gather money from the spectators, then talk to Isebell.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP, Isebell’s Stage Hat

Use the hat on each member of the crowd to collect a donation from them, then return to Isebell on stage.

Wow! We got quite a lot of money there! I’d never have believed we’d get that much! Diggory, did you see this, boy? You’ll be eating bananas for months after all this income!

You can keep the hat if you like, I have my own so I don’t need it.

Sweetie, I’m absolutely, one hundred percent, insanely happy. The tourists here in Fort Pinta seemed to really love our show, but most fantastic of all was you darling! You were so incredibly fabulous — you’ve clearly got magic within you!

Clearing Away Every Trace

Okay, pumpkin, now all that’s left to do is clear up. After every show, you’ve got to make sure to pick up after yourself, and while it’s not the most exciting thing in the world, with your help, it’ll be done in two shakes of a lamb’s tail! We’re really not supposed to leave any traces of what we’ve been up to here.

You’re quite simply a star for helping, thanks love!

Just pick up what’s left of the rockets and place them in this wooden box.

Thanks sweetie! Mwah!

Objectives: Help Isebell clear up.

Beginning of a New Magician’s Journey!

Darling, I can’t thank you enough for all your help! I’m absolutely, positively, one hundred percent delighted that I met you! Even more delightful was getting to meet you, Summerblaze!

I’d love to stay longer, but if I’m to ever have a chance to get to work with the great Ydris, then I have to keep working hard. You and I most definitely will see each other again though, I just know it.

To say thanks for all your help, I have a little present for you darling… It’s completely fabulous!

Here you go!

Objectives: Talk to Isebell.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP, Isebell’s Stage Costume

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

It was fun getting to be in a magic show!

A wonderful stage costume that you can wear as you perform as a magician, a witch, a wizard, and illusionist, or whatever you’d like to call yourself! Isn’t it lovely?

Hey there Rita! What fun that you called by! A few days ago, I was reading about this thing called geocaching; ever heard of it?

No?

No worries, I hadn’t either, but I thought it sounded really exciting so I’ve decided to organize a special geocaching contest here in Firgrove!

I can tell you more about it if you’re interested in helping out?

You are? Great! This is going to be so much fun! Haha!!

In order to get started, we’l have to write a few clues.

What am I going to do with the clues? Haha… You’ll see! First I need to find my pen, I’ve got no idea where I’ve put it.

Could you help me have a look for it?

Objectives: Help Andy find his pen.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Search the area for Andy’s pen. Bring it back to him when you find it.

That’s it! Thanks ever so much Rita! I’d never have found it without you!

Now, what were we talking about? Ah, of course, I was going to tell you more about geocaching!

Geocaching is a little bit like orienteering, except instead of looking for coordinates on a map, you’re looking for so-called ‘treasure.’ The treasure should always be found at the end of the trail, and the treasure could be absolutely anything under the sun!

In certain variants of geocaching, you have to look for clues to be able to find the cache of treasure.

I’m going to be doing it in my own style… Maybe we could call it AndyCaching or perhaps even GeoAndy? Haha!

If you wait just a little while Rita, I’ll just write down a few clues and then I’ll tell you a little bit more about what you’ll be able to help with.

Typing Up the Clues

So there we go! The clues are written, and they’re pretty great, if you ask me, hehe… I wonder how long it’ll take before someone’s able to work out exactly where the first clue leads to?

Unfortunately, I’m not able to tell you what I’ve written or where it leads to, Rita… It’s a secret!

That said, it’d be great if you could help me by rolling up these clues and tying them all up with this ribbon. Make it into a nice bow if you’re able to!

Oh, and Rita… Promise you won’t take a sneaky peek at the clues when you’re rolling them up. Not that I think you’d do that, but it’s really important that the clues stay secret for everyone, at least until the contest gets under way.

Here’s some ribbon. Roll up the papers and then tie them up into a bow with this ribbon, then it’ll all be perfect!

Objectives: Tie up the clues using the ribbon Andy gave you.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Dismount your horse and use the ribbon from your inventory to tie up the clues. Speak to Andy when you are finished.

Nice work on the clues! Good ribbon work, haha! They look really exciting! I bet you’re wondering what’s written on them, hehe!

Has the Delivery Been Delivered?

How lovely of you to ask if there’s anything you can help out with Rita, honestly, it’s really nice of you.

Since it’ll be me organizing the whole event, it wouldn’t be fair for me to take part, so I’ve ordered both posters and leaflets to be handed out in Firgrove. I think this could be something really big! Maybe something we’ll be famous for! Think about it… Rita and Andy’s Geocaching! Sounds awesome!

I’ve got tons to do; would you mind riding over to see my grandma, Mrs Packard? Ask her if the leaflets and posters I’ve ordered have been delivered yet…

Objectives: Ride to Firgrove Village and talk to Mrs Packard.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Speak to Mrs Packard outside her house in the back of the village.

Oh, my dear sweet little Rita, you’re a busy bee as usual, I can see!

Aha! You’ve spoken to Andy and he’s asked you to come up and see me. Of course, yes, his delivery has been delivered! There are some lovely posters and leaflets that need to be put up and handed out.

Andy already spoke to the Councilman and got his permission to hand out the leaflets and put up the posters, so everything’s not that far away from being done and dusted!

Posters in Firgrove

Andy’s really put his heart and soul into this project, wouldn’t you say, Rita dear?

And have you seen the lovely posters he’s ordered? They’re quite something. Perhaps you’ll be able to put them up around the village? I think he’ll be ever so grateful for all your help, sweetest Rita. What luck we all have that you’re such a lovely friend!

Put up the posters in and around the village so everyone can see them. It’s really very lovely of you to help out!

Objectives: Put up the posters all around Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Put up the posters on the walls of the log cabins in the center of the village, then return to Mrs Packard.

They need to be posted into all the letterboxes around the village. It’s so lovely of you to help Andy with his project, sweetest Rita!

You only need to post one flyer in each of the letterboxes in the village, then people should hopefully apply to take part in the competition!

Objectives: Mail flyers through all the letterboxes around Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Place one flyer in each mailbox around the village, then return to Mrs Packard when all the flyers are handed out.

Express Delivery!

Well, well! The flyers are handed out and the posters are up, and it’s all because of you, dear sweet Rita!

Oh my goodness gracious, I very nearly forgot! A huge parcel has arrived for Andy in today’s mail. I’m sure it has something to do with his competition. I wonder if you’d be even more precious and take it over to him?

Objectives: Deliver the parcel to Andy.

A parcel for me?

Following Instructions

I bought a treasure chest online! How amazing is that?!

I figured it’d be pretty cool to have the competition-winner’s prize in the treasure chest! If I read the instructions out, would you be able to put it together?

Nice! Right then, step one says: take the bottom part and lat it flat on the ground.

Then it says you take the lid and place it on the bottom section.

Lastly, it says you have to screw in the screws so that the lid is firmly attached to the bottom part.

Then when these three steps have been successfully completed, you will be the proud owner of a ready-to-use treasure chest!

Doesn’t sound that bad, eh Rita?

Objectives: Help Andy put the treasure chest together.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Dismount your horse to assemble the treasure chest.

First,, place the two pieces, then use the screwdriver on them. Speak to Andy when you are finished.

Great! Thanks so much Rita! It’s lovely, you really were great at putting it all together!

Now I’m off to hid the clues I wrote earlier, so it’s probably best that you call back tomorrow if you’d still like to carry on with helping out! While I’m out fixing up the clues, there’s not much else to do.
